Systematic Mapping Studies in Software Engineering

BACKGROUND: A software engineering systematic map is a defined method to build a classification scheme and structure a software engineering field of interest. The analysis of results focuses on frequencies of publications for categories wit...

Performance Evaluation for Moving Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Orthogonal Test

The performance evaluation of existing moving target tracking algorithms has many drawbacks,such as massive amount of data,redundant tests and insufficient consideration on algorithm performance under multifactor situation.Therefore,this pa...

Spreading Social Influence with both Positive and Negative Opinions in Online Networks

Social networks are important media for spreading information, ideas, and influence among individuals. Most existing research focuses on understanding the characteristics of social networks, investigating how information is spread through t...

Holistic Parameter Optimization for Software Defect Prediction

A software defect prediction (SDP) model identifies the defect-prone modules. Setting appropriate parameters in an SDP model is critical because it affects the model performance. In a recent study, parameters were automatically explored usi...

Unstructured Grid Computing Acceleration Algorithm Based on Sunway TaihuLight

The performance of unstructured grid computing on Sunway TaihuLight, a domestic heterogeneous many-core platform, is limited by sparse storage, discrete memory access, and data dependency.To relieve the sparse storage and discrete memory ac...

Logics of Statements in Context-Category Independent Basics

Based on a formalization of open formulas as statements in context, the paper presents a freshly new and abstract view of logics and specification formalisms. Generalizing concepts like sets of generators in Group Theory, underlying graph o...

A QoS Routing Algorithm Based on Software-Defined Vehiclar Ad-Hoc Network

A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network(VANET) is a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network(MANET) composed of mobile vehicular nodes.It does not rely on infrastructure to either establish a communication link orrealize communication. Owingto the high mobility of vehicle...

An Energy Efficient Distance-Aware Routing Algorithm with Multiple Mobile Sinks for Wireless Sensor Networks

Traffic patterns in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) usually follow a many-to-one model. Sensor nodes close to static sinks will deplete their limited energy more rapidly than other sensors, since they will have more data to forward during m...

Numerical computation of Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on rotational micropolar nanomaterials with activation energy

The current article investigates the numerical study of the micropolar nanofluid flow through a 3D rotating surface. This communication may manipulate for the aim such as the delivery of the drug, cooling of electronic chips, nanoscience an...

Software engineering economics

The field of software economics seeks to develop technical theories, guidelines, and practices of software development based on sound, established, and emerging models of value and value-creation---adapted to the domain of software developm...

Software engineering for mobility

Mobility is redefining the hardware and software fabric of distributed systems. Wireless communication allows network hosts to participate in a distributed computation while on the move. Novel middleware technologies allow software componen...

Facts and fallacies of software engineering

The practice of building software is a "new kid on the block" technology. Though it may not seem this way for those who have been in the field for most of their careers, in the overall scheme of professions, software builders are relative "...

Software engineering is software engineering

Software engineering for high-performance computer systems (HPCS) is regarded by many including many of its practitioners - as strangely, even esoterically, different from "standard" software engineering. That there is nuances are undeniabl...
